Lecture by Shinique Smith (MICA Alumna GFA '92, Mount Royal '03)Known for her monumental fabric sculptures and abstract paintings of calligraphy and collage, Smith’s personal histories and belongings intertwine with thoughts of the vast nature of ‘things’ that we consume, cherish, gift, and discard and how these objects resonate on intimate and social scales. Smith’s work has also been exhibited and collected by other prestigious institutions such as the Baltimore Museum of Art; Brooklyn Museum of Art; the Whitney Museum and the Guggenheim.
